Tuesday night I am going to make Eggplant Parmesan for the first time.
What would be a good and simple side dish to go with it?

Nothing. It's a whole meal in itself and doesn't need a side dish. SOmetimes
it gets used as a side dish, too, but I've never seen the opposite.

Salad!
Or anything green with a tart or vinegary taste to compliment the
cheesiness of the eggplant. That could be broccoli served with a
vinaigrette, or lightly cooked spinach or kale sauteed in the fry pan
and finished with a little lemon and garlic.

Salad. Garlic bread.

Leftovers make good sandwiches. I was just thinking of that while
showering. Mine would just be the (unbreaded) eggplant parm,
heated obviously, and crushed red peppers. Speaking of the ones
in jars in a vinegar solution, sold here in the Italian section of
the supermarket.

Nice, do they carry "cipolline in agrodolce" too? That should be
translated as "sweesour little onions". They are very nice as an
appetizer along with olives. And a white sparkler if you drink wine

Not at my supermarket. But I have access to at least three nice
Italian stores that I can think of immediately.

The same side dishes that go with chicken parmesan go with eggplant
parmesan. Spaghetti in marinara sauce is probably the best option, but
roast potatoes adorned with fresh rosemary, crushed garlic, and olive
oil would also be a good choice. For a green vegetable, maybe sauteed
spinach.
